I'd just like to say thanks to Nick JD for starting this thread. It eased my transition into AG brewing and my current process (after 9 AG batches) is still pretty similar.
I managed to pick up a couple of prizes in the ESB competition yesterday, including runner up best of show, using this technique.

I think the only major thing that I changed is my hop schedules. For hoppy beers, I add the bittering hops at 45 mins before the end of the boil, and poor the ~90C wort into a small cube on top of my flavour hops to no-chill over night. Then I use a coffee plunger to make some 'hop tea' for aroma (as well as some dry hopping).
That said, my Wit did well too and didn't involve any fancy hop additions!
